With companies like Progressive, and others who are basking in the fun of denying their services to Gun owners it looks to me like a great opportunity for banks, Insurance companies and others to start endorsing gun owners and asking them to give their business to those who will accept gun owners as clients.

While he’s at it, he should check to see which other companies gave to Republicans and have them blacklisted too. This really isn’t about gun control. If the gun lobby supported the Democrats, no one would be banning anything. This is about Emmanuel going after companies that support Republicans.

Liberals don't understand when politics aren't first priority. The Fund's objective is to maximize returns for the shareholders. If they divest shares of gun manufacturers and it can be proved that had they not done so the return would have been greater, the fund, it's portfolio managers and BOD's could face action.

Rahm's such a slimeball he must have to empty his shoes every hour.

Considering that Illinois is bankrupt due to pensions this will just reduce the amount of money going to pensions from mutual fund investments.

...or they could move to Texas:

Texas Senator Ted Cruz wants Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to back of gun manufacturers. The Republican senator issued a response to Emanuel’s letter to banks which do business with gun makers.

The Lone Star politician considers the former Obama administration official a bully. Cruz told gun companies that Texas banks would welcome their business and offered to personally introduce them to leading lenders.

This is a liberal loyalty test for future political appointments.

Can you imagine the uproar if Emanuel pressured companies to stop giving to BAMPAC, NAACP and other black organizations?

Oh wait, he’s a Democrat, so maybe not . . .

Sooooo—I then would pull amm my money out of a Mutual Fund and invest directly in Olin Arms or Ruger???

With some of the investmentcompanies, I wouldn’t even have a very high commission on such trades.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to form a Mutual Fund that disassociates from liberal causes.

I just wrote Vanguard to let them know that if they cave to political pressure, I’ll yank my investments. It’s enough to catch their eye.

I’d be happy to relieve them of those stocks, for a mere 30% haircut off value.

A small price fore easing their troubled souls, right?

As a serial CEO and lifetime finance fink myself....my first take on Emanuel’s bleating is

1. it is tortuous interference with the firearms makers contractual and business relationships

2. it is a criminal or certainly a civil violation of RICO act.

So yes....were I the target of the RhamaDon antics...I would have my legal beagles all over it.

RICO for you honest hard working guys never having been threatened with it by competitor lawyers...is FedSpeak for racketeer influenced corrupt organizations act. Originally targeted at mob figures by Justice Dept. DA’s, it has been metastasized through the years by unctuous lawyers to become a civil hammer as well that hits any nail that you want to hit and cause trouble for...in this case it would used to...used to....ah...used to...OMG it would actually be used against mob figures and corrupt organizations...Emanuel/& ilk and the city of Chicago.

What epic justice that would be.

He best get to work on solving all those black on black murders in his fine city, a city with one of the strictist gun control laws in the country.

Rahm go take a steam bath.

Gun manufacturers stock is going up. Can’t say the same for Emmanuel’s stock.
